Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $PF_5$ and $BrF_5$ both exhibit $sp^3 d$ hybridisation.
Statement $II$: Both $SF_6$ and $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$ exhibit $sp^3 d^2$ hybridisation.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true

The correct answer for the sequence $(A, B)$ is:

Among the statements $(a)-(d)$,the incorrect ones are:
$(a)$ Octahedral $Co(III)$ complexes with strong field ligands have very high magnetic moments.
$(b)$ When $\Delta_{0} < P$,the $d-$electron configuration of $Co(III)$ in an octahedral complex is $t_{2g}^{4} e_{g}^{2}$.
$(c)$ Wavelength of light absorbed by $[Co(en)_{3}]^{3+}$ is lower than that of $[CoF_{6}]^{3-}$.
$(d)$ If the $\Delta_{0}$ for an octahedral complex of $Co(III)$ is $18,000 \ cm^{-1}$,the $\Delta_{t}$ for its tetrahedral complex with the same ligand will be $16,000 \ cm^{-1}$.

Based on the provided reaction scheme,choose the incorrect statement:
$1. \text{Metal nitrate} \xrightarrow{\Delta} A + O_2$
$2. \text{Flame test of metal nitrate} \rightarrow \text{Golden Yellow Flame}$
